The Courts have been closed for 3 days as have all TP amenities due to the hurricane. We were lucky the storm changed direction so we missed most of it here in Timber Pines. Prayers and good wishes to those who were not so fortunate.

With the windscreens rolled up, the courts look quite different now! Play has begun again so sign up on the Den!

After days inside, come out for the Saturday Night Hurricane Cookout (Oct 1) at 5:30p ($3) to enjoy a great meal and camaraderie with colleagues! You can still sign up! Please bring a dish to share with 6-8 persons.

### Weekly Events

--**Beginners’ Orientation and Lessons**. New and novice players can sign up now on Den (a maximum of 8 players in each lesson) for a lesson starting on Mon, Oct 3 from 11am to 1pm. Under Play select Beginner Lessons and the date Oct 3.

The novice sessions will be every Monday from 11a to 1p on Courts 1 & 2 with sign-up on Den.

--**Donny’s Wed. Nite ABCD**, cancelled this past Wednesday because of the hurricane, continues on this Wed night Oct 5 from 5-7pm. Sign up on Den using the newly formatted sign-up sheets. Select the date and click Social under Play Type for Oct 5.

--**Events are now posted on the October Den Schedule** to Oct. 11. Use the changed Sign-up Event Sheets on Den to sign up for this coming week’s events. Narrow your search to a specific date range by clicking dates on the calendar and search different play types (beginner class, open, social, or shootout) so you don’t have to scroll through so many events.

### Upcoming Events

--**New Ladies Event: Throwback Tuesday**, Oct 4

A new event for all women picklers on the first Tuesday of every month will begin on the first Tuesday, October 4 at 5pm at the Lodge Pickleball Courts, a throwback to our original Court play. Four (4) courts will be available for pickleball followed by socializing. Please bring a snack to share, a chair, and everyone bring their own drink. For questions call Karen Toof at 303 517-0800. No sign-up on Den is necessary. Just show up to play pickleball and socialize with your colleagues.

--**Tournaments and Events – 2022-2023**. Mike and Patty Rocheleau, Chairs of the 2022-23 Tournaments Committee, have put together a schedule of tournaments and events for the upcoming season. Watch for the flyer of events this coming week in a separate email from Den so you can Save the Dates!

--The next open TPPC BOD meeting will be held on Tues. Oct. 11 at 3pm at the Country Club.

**FYI**:  Although the fence between the Pavilion and the Wellness Center has been removed, it is still a construction site so there is still no parking on the south side of the Pavilion. 

The Club membership is now **1047**! The next Friday Fix will be Oct. 14.

Come on out and let’s keep on picklin’,
